WH:‘No Constitutional Rights Issue’ in Forcing Catholics to Act Against Their Faith

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says there are no “constitutional rights issues” involved in a regulation issued by the administration that requires all health-care plans in the United States to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that induce abortions.

On Sunday, in Catholic churches around the country, priests read letters from their local bishops declaring the law an unconstitutional attack on the religious liberty of Catholics and calling on Catholics to oppose the regulation and fight to have it rescinded.

I implore all Bible believing churches, priests and pastors and bishops to pound this message on their pulpits across this nation.

The Florida Smear Campaign Mitt Romney’s fraudulent attacks on Newt Gingrich.

The Florida Smear Campaign Mitt Romney’s fraudulent attacks on Newt Gingrich.

By Thomas Sowell: The Republican establishment is pulling out all the stops to try to keep Newt Gingrich from becoming the party’s nominee for president of the United States — and some are not letting the facts get in their way.

Among the claims going out through the mass media in Florida, on the eve of that state’s primary election, is that Newt Gingrich “resigned in disgrace” as speaker of the House of Representatives as a result of unethical conduct involving the diversion of tax-exempt money. Mitt Romney is calling on Gingrich to release “all of the records” from the congressional investigation ... His resignation was not due to those charges and occurred much later.

TONY DIGIROLAMO- WHAT HAVE WE BECAME?

LYING IS A PART OF OUR CULTURE NOW. LIKE THOMAS SOWELL SAID, "SOME ARE NOT LETTING THE FACTS GET IN THEIR WAY".

What disturbs me is how a candidate is able to say what they say so convincingly knowing that it's a lie.

Who are we? What have we become?

We've become a secular country a nation turned away from God. And that will not be the foundation of fundamentally tranasforming America going forward.

That is going to change in 2012!

Catholic Church Rejects Surrender Terms from Obama

Catholic Church Rejects Surrender Terms from Obama

• 

My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead. What was also newsworthy about the sermon was that he cited The Washington Post in agreement—not on the subject of the Obama Administration being evil, but on the matter of its abridgment of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.

At a time when the media are full of reports about who is ahead and behind in the polls, and who will win the next Republican presidential primary, this incredible uprising in the Catholic Church is something that could not only overshadow the political campaign season, but also may have a major impact on the ultimate outcome—if Republicans know how to handle it. This matter goes beyond partisan politics to the growing perception of an unconstitutional Obama Administration assault on religious freedom. To hear the Catholic Bishops and Priests describe it, our constitutional republic and our freedoms hang in the balance.

TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS BEARS REPEATING BECAUSE WHAT THIS PRIEST HAS DONE IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN IN PULPITS NATIONWIDE: "My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead."

I've been speaking out about the silence in the pulpit caused by the IRS rule in 1947 and the Johnson Ammendment that worsened it.. That rule the church was told, in order to hold a tax exempt status put a muzzle on political dicussion on issues and elections in the pulpit.

So, Father Larry Swink, you are to be honored for your bold and courage step toward restoring our religious freedom.

T.D. Jakes says he has embraced doctrine of the Trinity

Bishop T.D. Jakes says he has moved away from a "Oneness" view of the Godhead to embrace an orthodox definition of the Trinity -- and that some in the Oneness Pentecostal movement now consider him a heretic.

Jakes -- long a controversial figure among evangelicals because of his past unwillingness to affirm the Trinity -- stated his belief Wednesday (Jan. 27)

TONY DIGIROLAMO- T.D. JAKES HAS BEEN A CHRISTIAN, SUPER STAR, TELEVISION EVANGELIST IN AMERICA.

But we find out only 3 days ago, January 27, 2012, The year of our Lord, that he was failing in one of the most essential parts of the faith... The Trinity.

Is it fair to say that he has been teaching in error, even heretical teaching?

FDA drug warnings often ineffective, study says

FDA drug warnings often ineffective, study says

The Food and Drug Administration's communications to physicians and patients about the newly discovered dangers of approved medications often miss the mark, said a systematic review of 49 studies covering 16 medicines.

Well-intentioned advisories may have unintended consequences, the review said. Warnings about antidepressant use in children and teens in 2003 and 2004 resulted in big drops in prescribing for younger depressed patients. Later research found a spike in youth suicides after that decline in antidepressant prescribing.

Obama Admin. Restricting Religious Freedom

Obama Admin. Restricting Religious Freedom

I warned you that the Supreme Court's decision to grant religious groups a "ministerial exception" in hiring, while important, does nothing to halt the Obama Administration's relentless crusade to restrict religious freedom.

Just Friday, the Administration announced it would not expand exemptions for religiously affiliated organizations when it comes to insurance. So, a Catholic hospital, for instance, will be forced to purchase insurance for its employees that would provide free contraception and sterilization services.

Pope: Some U.S. Cultural Trends 'A Threat Not Just to Christian Faith, But Also to Humanity Itself'

Pope: Some U.S. Cultural Trends 'A Threat Not Just to Christian Faith, But Also to Humanity Itself'

Pope Benedict XVI warned a group of Catholic bishops from the United States in a speech at the Vatican last week that some cultural trends in the U.S. are “a threat not just to Christian faith, but also to humanity itself.”

...At the heart of every culture, whether perceived or not, is a consensus about the nature of reality and the moral good, and thus about the conditions for human flourishing. In America, that consensus, as enshrined in your nation’s founding documents, was grounded in a worldview shaped not only by faith but a commitment to certain ethical principles deriving from nature and nature’s God. Today that consensus has eroded significantly in the face of powerful new cultural currents which are not only directly opposed to core moral teachings of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but increasingly hostile to Christianity as such.
